Chief Advisor to Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, Franak Viacorka, and Diplomatic Advisor, Dzianis Kuchynski, participated in the conference “The EU Integration Prospects for Ukraine and Belarus: Assessing the future”. The event was held in London and featured officials, politicians, experts, and representatives of the EU and its member states’ special envoys for Belarus.
The Belarusian section focused on Belarusians’ readiness for a European choice and a European future. Additionally, discussions addressed what the EU and European bodies can do to support Belarus on its path to European integration.
Franak Viacorka notes that the Belarusian issue is returning to the agenda.
“In London, the issue of Belarus is rarely discussed, so the conference and its level show that interest is returning. In a week, an election will take place in the UK, and it is crucial that the new government keeps Belarus on the agenda and has a developed strategy vis-a-vis Belarus. Perhaps the points discussed at today’s conference will be included in this strategy. Today’s discussion on Ukraine and Belarus has proven to be very timely”, comments the advisor.
The full comment on the conference is available in Belarusian in video.
